Hi;
The site that is being used is www.google.ca. This computer was being used in Canada and I live in the USA.

What happens with emails?

I connected to the internet on Tuesday and was able to check email page but was not able to surf the web through Firefox. Do I just need to change my home page to something else?

So Firefox is the problem,. Uninstall it and install it again.

Hope it helps.
Peter

I have tried to find out how to uninstall Firefox without success, I also have down loaded a copy of Firefox from Ubuntu's website and do not know how to install it, can someone please help me before I give up and go back to Windows? Thanks.

What happens if you install Opera? Does it work?
